Probably because you can't pull over and stop on the road verge. :-) The average person would take much longer looking at a map then the 2 - 3 seconds that it takes to read a pda etc. Cheers.

All else is a distraction at best and dangerous at worst. If you think a driver with an iPhone glued to his ear is dangerous, try the guy on the other side of the thermal. Yes, I have seen it done. Leave the bloody things on the ground. Or at least, switched off in your pocket.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Ipad Save your money. I wish I had. There is no way to import waypoints: everything has to be entered manually, thus prone to error. The list of gliders is very old, with no ability to add new ones.
